MANKATO — A section of the Blue Earth County Red Jacket Trail near the Red Jacket Trestle is temporarily closed.
The closure is due to the significant damage caused by recent heavy rainfalls, a Blue Earth County press release said.
The trail is closed from a spot south of the trestle to Blue Earth County Road 33.
County staff are currently assessing the extent of damage to the trail from washouts. The trail’s surface also was damaged.
Trail users should avoid the section to prevent further damage and ensure personal safety.
At this time, there is no estimated date for when the affected section of the trail will reopen.
